Renaissance Wax Question ?

[mortuarymike-nv]

Yup

Could it have been toluene?

You nailed it, sorry I forgot how to spell it .
My friend said that stuff was very dangerous to our health.

Great info

Renaissance Wax looks to be no more hazardous than any other finishing product.

Cool great info thank you.

Yes, toluene is a serious chemical.

I found this website while searching for "renaissance wax" and "toluene": https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=BOOK_ARTS-L;8b7dd41c.1405

It says that:

Renaissance wax doesn't contain any carnauba wax, nor does it contain toluene.

Wax

So will I die from using it or not? Been using for about 7 years not and still feel okay...

No. There was speculation maybe it was bad but the speculation was unfounded. The mentioned toluene was for something completely different.

I wouldn't eat it or a snack though...

And it hasn't hampered your spelling in the least. Lol

This : "contains less than 0.1% benzene by weight."
To the best of my knowledge, benzene is a known carcinogen.
But then so are a lot of things that we expose ourselves to everyday.
It may be too late for filters anyway.

Toluene is the main reason I wanted to get away from carnauba/. toluene car waxes.

But for what ever its worth Carnauba wax is used on M&M Candies and allot of other stuff we eat.................................


I am glad that renaissance wax is Toluene free .
It sounds like we like we have a wax that may be tuff to beat .

So can we use this on our playing cues without concern to our health or more important the health of our cues

Just use proper ventilation when applying and drying. As for your cues, they will love it.

I went nuts with the stuff last week and applied it to my cue cases, kitchen table, wallet, leather shoes,etc.
Made everything smooth, shiny and waterproof. Amazing stuff.
